5.2 Collecting asset information
The asset information to be managed by the asset management database can be collected either from JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager or from a CSV file.
If you want to manage various types of information in a large system, Hitachi recommends that you collect asset information from JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager. However, if data already exists when Asset Console is being installed for the first time, or if there is information not being collected by JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager, you can also collect asset information from a CSV file. Choose an appropriate asset information collection method based on the application objective and timing, such as during initial installation or daily operations.
The two methods of collecting asset information, the first from JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager and the second from a CSV file, are explained below. For the collection of asset information from JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager, how to set the management information assignment method and how to set the software name assignment are also explained.
